The Collings Foundation of Stow has suspended flights of its historic and military aircraft for the rest of the year following a fatal crash in Connecticut, which left seven dead.
The nonprofit made the announcement on its website following the crash of its B-17 aircraft last week at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, where seven people were killed and another seven were injured.
The foundation is cooperating with an investigation into the cause of the crash.
The World War II bomber was part of the foundation’s Wings of Freedom tour spanning the country each year, with a stop this year at the Worcester Regional Airport on Sept. 20, 21 and 22. Bradley was hosting the latest stop on the tour.
The Collings Foundation runs the American Heritage Museum in Stow, which opened in May with dozens of military vehicles and other artifacts. Events at that location will continue to take place.
